Original Word: עָשָׁן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: ashan
Pronunciation: ah-shawn'
Phonetic Spelling: (aw-shawn')
Definition: Smoke
Meaning: smoke

Word Origin: From the root עָשַׁן (ashan), which means "to smoke" or "to be angry."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2586 (kapnos): Refers to smoke, used in the New Testament in contexts such as Revelation 8:4, where the smoke of incense represents the prayers of the saints.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ashan" primarily refers to smoke, often in the context of burning sacrifices, incense, or as a metaphor for divine presence or judgment. It can symbolize the presence of God, as seen in the smoke that filled the temple, or it can represent destruction and judgment, as in the smoke rising from a city under divine wrath.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, smoke was a significant element in religious rituals. The smoke from burnt offerings and incense was seen as a pleasing aroma to God, symbolizing prayers ascending to heaven. Smoke also served as a visual representation of God's presence, as in the pillar of cloud and fire that guided the Israelites in the wilderness. In prophetic literature, smoke often symbolizes judgment and destruction, reflecting the cultural understanding of smoke as both a purifying and consuming force.
